Drove from Florida to Estes Park, in unknown beds, with unknown pillows and my body was hurting. I got an appointment, and they assigned me with Wendy. They couldn't have picked a better person. Extremely professional. She greeted me at the door, introduced herself and was very clear about what needed to be done. The covid policies were clear and well defined. She checked in with me on pressure throughout the massage and really listened to and addressed my needs. I highly recommend Wendy!

We had a great ride and our guide was knowledgeable and very encouraging as this ride is very rocky. The horses are well cared for and sure-footed. I felt very confident in their ability and was able to enjoy the amazing view!

My husband and I did a 90 minute couples massage as well as a facial mask for me and a detox soak for him. I was with Autumn and my husband was with Sarah and both of them were fantastic. We were given such a relaxing experience and both of us felt that our massages were truly customized for our needs. Autumn and Sarah both took the time to listen to us and recognize where our problem areas were vs. just going through the motions of a “standard” massage. The room we were in was large, private and very clean. I would highly recommend Estes Park Massage for a day of bliss and relaxation. You won’t regret it!

Art gallery and Glassblowing studio . Watch live blown glass demos and check out lots of blown glass in our gallery.

Reviewed By LisaRM - Denver, United States

I have been going to this lovely shop since I was a kid. It's the best glass studio there is! The artists are so kind and helpful and their art is creative, thoughtful and fun. If you are looking for a small piece or a larger, stand-out piece you can find both and everything in between. It's one of my favorite stops in Estes Park. Thank you for creating such inspiring and memorable pieces of art to share with all!

MacGregor Ranch Museum

Reviewed By Geojourneyman - Evergreen, United States

I have been to the MacGregor Ranch and Museum three different occasions...with a small group, a large group of school-aged kids, and a group of long distant friends...all three visits were amazing....and each group was enriched with the historical ranch house tour and discussion of life on the land in Estes Park! I know that the tales were true and so interesting. And the ranch is very special in its location next to Rocky Mtn. Nat'l Park.
